OverviewAI-generated
Urban I, also known as Urbanus I, was a male Catholic priest and Pope in Ancient Rome. Born in Rome, he practiced Early Christianity and was recognized as a Catholic saint. His work was centered in Rome, where he also died and was buried in the Catacomb of Callixtus. His feast day is observed on May 25.
Historical records indicate that Urban I held the position of Pope during the early third century. He is described in sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary and The Nuttall Encyclopædia. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds works associated with him. While other entities share similar names, including an author with three works and a musical artist, this passage refers specifically to the historical religious figure.

Encyclopedic overview
Pope Urban I (Latin: Urbanus I), also known as Saint Urban (175?–230), was the bishop of Rome from 222 to 23 May 230. He was born in Rome and succeeded Callixtus I, who had been martyred. It was believed for centuries that Urban I was also martyred. However, recent historical discoveries now lead scholars to believe that he died of natural causes.
